Vue tooling fixes silent type-check gap as VitePress reworks navbar

Vue's language tools finally type-check function calls in templates, and VitePress' navbar is getting a long-overdue redesign.

Vue's language-tools closes a silent type-checking gap: template bindings that are function declarations now type-check correctly when called without `.value` [1], fixing a bug where TS2339 errors were silently dropped [1]. The fix lands in pull request #6181 [2]. Meanwhile, VitePress ships a complete navbar redesign [3] built around one component set across viewports, a real overflow strategy, and stricter accessibility. The same theme work adds `aria-current="page"` to current-page links across all navigation surfaces [4], and drops `-webkit-backdrop-filter` fallbacks that were breaking the frosted-glass surface in builds [5]. A new `--vp-local-nav-divider-color` token gives the local nav its own configurable border [6]. This is the polish pass VitePress has needed: the redesign was "planned against the full history of navbar issues and PRs" [3]. Skip the developing branches, but test the navbar update early if you customize the theme.
